Biological Activity

Description Tubacin is a highly potent and selective, reversible, cell-permeable HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4 nM in a cell-free assay, approximately 350-fold selectivity over HDAC1. Tubacin reduces the replication of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus via the decrease of viral RNA synthesis.
Targets
HDAC6 [1]
(Cell-free assay)
4 nM
In vitro

Tubacin, without directly stabilizing microtubules, induces an increase in α-tubulin acetylation with EC50 of 2.5 μM in A549 cells. Tubacin inhibits HDAC6-mediated α-tubulin deacetylation, and inhibits the migration of both wild-type and HDAC6-overexpressing cells. [2] Tubacin in combination synergistically enhances tubulin acetylation. [3] Tubacin significantly inhibits both drug-sensitive and drug–resistant MM cell growth with IC50 of 5–20 μM, and induces cell apoptosis by activation of caspases. [4]
In vivo

In chick embryos, inhibition of HDAC6 activity by Tubacin reduces the formation of new blood vessels in matrigel/nylon mesh. In angioreactors implanted in mice, Tubacin also impairs the formation of new blood vessels. [5]
Features The first known selective inhibitor of α-tubulin deacetylation.

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:

[1]
  • Enzyme Inhibition Assay

    Enzyme inhibition assays are performed using the Reaction Biology HDAC Spectrum platform. The HDAC1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 assays used isolated recombinant human protein; HDAC3/NcoR2 complex is used for the HDAC3 assay. Substrate for HDAC1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and 11 assays is a fluorogenic peptide from p53 residues 379-382 (RHKKAc); substrate for HDAC8 is fluorogenic diacyl peptide based on residues 379-382 of p53 (RHKAcKAc). Acetyl-Lys(trifluoroacetyl)-AMC substrate is used for HDAC4, 5, 7, and 9 assays. Compounds are dissolved in DMSO and tested in 10-dose IC50 mode with 3-fold serial dilution starting at 30 μM. Control Compound Trichostatin A (TSA) is tested in a 10-dose IC50 with 3-fold serial dilution starting at 5 μM. IC50 values are extracted by curve-fitting the dose/response slopes.
Cell Assay:

[4]
  • Cell lines

    Drug-sensitive (MM.1S, U266, INA-6, and RPMI8226) and drug-resistant (RPMI-LR5 and RPMI-Dox40) MM cell lines

  • Concentrations

    ~20 μM

  • Incubation Time

    72 hours

  • Method

    The inhibitory effect on MM cell growth is assessed by measuring the MTT dye absorbance. All experiments are performed in quadruplicate.
Animal Study:

[5]
  • Animal Models

    Athymic nude mice implanted with angioreactors

  • Dosages

    --

  • Administration

    Tubacin is filled in semiclosed angioreactors, and then implanted into the mice.
